Odyssey of the Blind God Chapter 354 Ancient Devilization

Chapter 354 Ancient Devilization

Nial had the direct support of the Forest of Life and he controlled dark energy. He was in possession of the Odyssey seed and Darkness Essence, which gave him numerous advantages over the Nightshadow Elves.
However, he didn't underestimate the brats even for one second. He smiled slyly in their direction, which enraged them in an instant.
They only knew how to order around and to kill. Never in their life had they been looked down upon, and that was exactly what was just happening.
The Nightshadow Elves in front of Nial looked straight in his lifeless, milky white eyes. This pair of lifeless eyes seemed to look down at them, or so it felt to the Nightshadow Elves.
Thus, they enveloped their bodies in Shadow energy before they expanded the shadows around them.
They disappeared into the shadows and used one of their special racial traits called Shadow Walking.
It was possible for the Nightshadow Elves to use their shadow energy to merge with the shadows around them and reappear in another shadow.
The longer the distance they covered while traveling through the shadows, the more shadow energy had to be used at once.
Nial could clearly perceive what was going on and he made use of it. The large trees of the Forest of Life provided good coverage and had numerous shadows of large and densely packed trees.
There were not many spots without shadows and the gaps were also minimal. Nial released his dark energy through the ground to cover the shadows with his dark energy.
This allowed him to perceive the Nightshadow Elves the moment they emerged from the shadows.
Nial didn't move even a single inch even after he had expanded his dark energy through the surrounding area.
He compressed his Darkness Essence and cursed silently because it was highly likely that his entire Darkness Essence would be used up today.
Nial fed Kaeldur with his Darkness Essence and the being was ready to emerge from his body. However, instead of allowing Kaledur to emerge outside, Nial forced Kaeldur to envelop his body within him.
The darkness armor that was supposed to cover Nial's skin was now created on top of his flesh. This was something Nial had never done before but it was a necessity to make sure that the Nightshadow Elves would fear him, and not Kaeldur.
The temperature around Nial dropped drastically, his milky white eyes turned pitch-black and his skin showed signs of turning black like the abyss.
Even Nial's silver hair seemed to be affected. Some silver strands turned black and Nial's height increased as his body enlarged a bit.
Claws grew out of the tip of his fingers and sharp fangs slunk out of his mouth.
'Seems like everything has worked out as expected,' Nial thought, causing a bright smile to form on his face. The thought of losing all the Darkness Essence had disappeared with the pain he felt as two horns grew out of his forehead.
He was fusing with Kaeldur, which was the same, yet also different from turning one with Kaeldur. Usually, Kaeldur would cover his body and act as if they were one. However, that was not a proper fusion.
It was just that Kaeldur acted as it had fused with Nial, and that it moved according to his will. Nial knew this very well, and he could also tell that it was not possible for him to use Kaledur properly yet.
And that was the reason he actually fused with Kaeldur, allowing him to manifest below his skin!
'Ancient Devilization sounds like a good name for this technique,' Nial thought though he knew that this wasn't a technique per se. He was also aware that Kaeldur was not actually a Devil.
In fact, Nial had yet to figure out what exactly Kaledur was. He could only tell that it was a living being and that it had been sealed within the Odyssey seed.
The Odyssey seed was a fragment of the God of Darkness, which meant that Kaeldur was basically a part of Damian as well.
Nial was not sure if he should just start searching for the other Fragments of the God of Darkness because that would, most likely, help him to become stronger and discover more of the Darkness God's power.
This was something he was interested in but it would take lots of time; time Nial didn't really have to conduct a focussed and large-scale search.
When the time was ripe, things might change but until then there were more pressing matters to attend to.
Nial's appearance had changed drastically and so had the atmosphere around him. The air was frigid and the sounds of howling ghosts swept through the surrounding area.
Chills spread down the spines of everyone, who was too close to Nial and it was hard for them to even move.
This was especially the case for the Nightshadow Elves, who felt the incapability to circulate shadow energy through their body.
The moment they released shadow energy outside their body, Nial's dark energy shot out to devour the shadow energy.
A fight of energy was initiated and Nial turned in the direction of the three Nightshadow Elves, who were the closest to him. He shot forward, formed a huge claw of darkness that swiped through the three Nightshadow Elves.
They were not injured in the slightest but all their released shadow energy was devoured.
The young Nightshadow Elves lost control of their body for a moment because they had planned to disappear into the shadows.
However, shadow traveling didn't seem to work right at this moment. They landed on the ground, just for hundreds of darkness vines to shoot out of the ground as well.
Nial controlled everything precisely. He transformed his huge darkness claw into a dome of darkness that covered his body and that of the three young Nightshadow Elves.
Nobody from outside was able to see what was going on inside, and they could only hear the screams of the young Elves.
This was enough for everyone to freeze in their tracks, the horrifying screams of the young children ringing through the air. The Elves hated the Nightshadow Elves for everything they had done in the past, and the brats of the Nightshadow Elves were arrogant and off-putting.
Yet, even then, the screams of the Nightshadow Elves were loud enough to rattle the Elven's heart to the core. They began to wonder if the young Nightshadow Elves would come out alive and their heart began to gleam in worry.
If Nial was already powerful enough to kill three powerful beings at the Prometheus rank, and he acted however he pleased whenever he wanted to, it was not unlikely that he would soon become the Elven's opponent.
This thought was frightening and it caused even Master Crevian and Valvian to watch the events that were about to happen with a keen eye.
Nial was completely unbothered about the various unstable mana sources from outside the dome of darkness.
His entire focus was on the Nightshadow Elves ahead of him and a bright smile formed on his face.
"Are you guys done with your drama? I just deprived you of your shadow energy. There is no need to act like this!" Nial calmly said as he inserted his dark energy inside the Nightshadow Elves that were lying on the ground.
After they had been deprived of the power they used the most often, the young Nightshadow Elves in front of him were basically left unarmed and defenseless. They couldn't even retrieve the weapons from their spatial rings because it would require them to use shadow energy.
Nial licked his lips when he felt the shadow energy of the three Prometheus rank Nightshadow Elves running through his dark energy.
It was destroyed and the useful properties were converted into Darkness Essence.
Nial couldn't create much Darkness Essence with the given shadow energy but it was more than enough to satisfy him.
"W-what…did you d-do t-ttto us???" One of the young Nightshadow Elves stuttered in shock, barely able to look up to meet his gaze.
Being a race that relied a lot on their mana, and altered energies, the most horrifying that could happen to them was the loss of their energy.
It was a different thing if they would have used their whole energy while fighting. However, they hadn't even noticed that their energy had been already drained from their bodies, leaving them weak and a bit exhausted.
Nial's smile turned even brighter when he heard the fear in the struggling Nightshadow Elf's voice. They were much weaker than ordinary Prometheus Originals in terms of physical strength alone.
Elves possessed more mana and other advantages but physical strength was certainly not one of them.
And to make things worse, Nial used their own energy against them after he devoured it easily. This caused great mental damage, preventing the three Nightshadow Elves from using the physical strength they had to free themselves from the darkness vines that were coiled all around their body.
They had been pulled to the ground and dark energy covered everything except their heads. They were being tossed around by Nial like deadweights, but he just smiled at their sorry state.
"To think that the Essence of Darkness can actually devour your shadow energy. That is quite funny, isn't it?" He asked all of a sudden, bending down before he whispered quietly,
"Don't you think that this means my energy is superior to yours? The great Nightshadow Elves, the race that stands on equal footing with the High Elves and the Sacred Elves cannot even fight against a mere human at the 5th Mirae rank because their energy is too shallow…hahaha" Nial laughed mockingly.
He felt that the situation was ridiculous and he enjoyed it thoroughly. It was not even the fact that they were at the same rank, but Nial ought to be much weaker than the three Nightshadow Elves.
However, he had clearly felt that it would be possible to overwhelm the three elven brats by making use of the Ancient Devilization.
His dark energy was much stronger than ever before because all of it circulated through his body at one point.
It moved through his body, and thus through Kaeldur, who was summoned with the use of Nial's Essence of Darkness.
The three young Nightshadow Elves could hardly move but one of them, the only one, who hadn't said anything until now seemed to desire to say something.
That particular Nightshadow Elf hadn't even participated in the bullying of the ordinary Elves and he had just quietly followed the orders he had received.
She was not even the weakest in the group of three but followed the commands of one of them.
'Hierarchical struggle? Maybe she was born in a commoner family, and the other two are nobles?' Nial thought before he ignored this idea. It was not really important.
"E-Essence…D-a…Dar…" The little girl faced the most severe impact of being drained of all her shadow energy.
Nial decided to have some mercy on her by removing some of the darkness vines from her body. This was enough for the young brat to breathe a bit before she weakly asked in elvish,
"Essence of Darkness…"
Nial tilted his head while trying to figure out what the young brat wanted from him but that was not exactly easy.
"Yeah, I use the Essence of Darkness, what about it?" He impatiently replied in elvish, while trying to make the young brat speak more.
But what Nial hadn't expected was to see all the Nightshadow Elves suddenly frozen in place at his revelation. They forced themselves to move their heads to stare at Nial in shock and disbelief.
'What is going on?'
